Upasana Captured Every Detail Perfectly!

Our experience with Upasana was amazing. She is so talented and so much fun to work with. Prior to our wedding day, we did an engagement shoot in Central Park where we were able to get to know her and start to understand what an amazing eye she has. She knew every angle and paid attention to every detail and we are so appreciative and thankful for the beautiful photos we received. Leading up to the wedding, she was so responsive and answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. We can honestly say that because of Upasana and her team, our wedding day was more fun and went smoothly and on schedule. She is so poised, professional, and sweet and made sure to capture the photos we wanted and then more while navigating the culture, family, and traditions around an Indian fusion wedding with such grace. She delivered our preview quickly and we are floored and in awe by how beautiful the photos are. She captured every detail, tradition, and emotion so perfectly and I can’t stop looking at them and will treasure the memories that she was able to capture forever. Our wedding party and coordinator have all been raving about what a pleasure it was to work with Upasana and her team and of course about how beautiful the photos are. We are so beyond thankful that Upasana was there to capture our big day and would recommend her without hesitation.

We were looking for a photographer for the ceremony and post-ceremony photo shoot only, which was held in Central Park at the end of December 2014. Upasana was easy to work with, she responded quickly and catered to our taste. Her prices were reasonable, which was crucial since we were on a tight budget.

It just happened to be a very sunny, spring-like day, which was great because my bridal party and I were all in strapless gowns, so we had little need for our wraps. Upasana was waiting for me at the entrance to the park when I arrived and even had an assistant photographer with her. She captured all the right moments.

She conducted the photo shoot well and knew exactly where to go and the quickest way to get there, which was important since the park was fully packed with people due to the gorgeous sunny weather.

She has a great eye and a good memory of the types of shots that I had in mind. She posted about 15 shots on her blog within the week and I was able to download all the photos that she prepared within 3 weeks. I had requested them all in color and she obliged.

I posted them on Facebook and my friends loved the shots. There were some candid shots that wee so perfect and I hadn't even realized she was there at those moments. I really enjoyed having her and we're so glad we hired her.

Best Experience for Maternity/Newborn Photos

As first-time parents, we used Upasana for our maternity and newborn photos and we couldn't recommend her more! She always responded quickly, offered advice for clothing and location choices, and made outdoor options available for COVID safety. She also never made us feel rushed during the shoots and was very patient with a slightly fussy newborn. Plus, the photos came out beautifully! Definitely would suggest Upasana to anyone looking to capture this special time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
